**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** The weather is so inhospitable right now…going outside is something to avoid….. I’m looking at photos of my hearty friends venturing out on trail rides with their horses….. I have to admire them…I have to admire their mounts…I’m hoping they’re out on the trails when it’s still quasi-cool in the early mornings…(but it’s never cool)….. Claire and Anja and Brave would faint if they were asked to exercise right now….. …..they are so…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Remember when I said…nobody likes the ramblings of old people and their health histories(?)….. Remember how I said I would keep it brief?….. I lied….. …..but I’ll keep this one brief….. I went to my post-op/doctor’s appointment….. …..and it looks like good news….. My blood pressure remains Fine…my heart beat rhythm is Fine…and my EKG was Fine!….. …..Good News!….. Plus…my doctor got more specific about what happened during the “procedure”….. He told my…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** No one wants to hear about cranky/old people’s renditions of their health and surgical sagas….. No one….. …………………so I’ll be brief………………… I’m here….. I’m vertical…… I’m (semi) coherent….. …..(but that’s not related to recent hospital “procedures”)….. Sooooo…I guess it’s fair to say…that’s a plus…right(?)….. Things were cauterized…(again)….. …..I know I shook up a couple surgical nurses when I said I had four titanium joints….. It made them put on their thinking-caps on how…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** So…tomorrow is the Heart “Procedure” Day….. Tra!…La!….. …..I’ve got mixed emotions….. I really want this “procedure” to fix Absolutely Everything….. I really want “it” to be over and in the rearview mirror already….. I Really don’t want to do it….. I’d really prefer to run screaming into the Swamp and hide….. But I’m a grown-up these days…and I’ll behave…sort of…(for the moment)….. “They” said “the procedure” is scheduled to take 3 hours and…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** This whole medical-thing has aggravated me….. …..I don’t like it….. It’s impacted too much of my life-style…or what I intend my life-style to be….. …..Petulant?….. …..undoubtedly….. …..Stubborn?….. …..eternally….. But perhaps…it’s just choosing a change of perspective….. So…I’ve decided to change the expression from “You Are What You Eat” …to…”You Are What You Think”….. …..(otherwise…I’d be a MoonPie and a mediocre Bourbon & Coke)….. Again…putting aside that flippant but accurate whimsy….. I’ve decided…I’m Healthy……..

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** A ZAP from electric pasture fencing hurts….. People have explained joules/and watts/and volts/and amperage/and other electrical what-nots to me….. I never really give it much thought….. …..except for that nano-second before an impending ZAP from an electric fence…when you know you’ve over-stepped your proximity to “the wire”….. When I was a child…we only had livestock fencing….. …..just big rolls of the stuff…that my father (somehow…miraculously) nailed to posts…all by himself….. …..(*fence post staples…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** So…here’s the game plan….. I’ve got another (final?) heart “procedure” scheduled the beginning of April….. Plus…I’m learning more cardiac-jargon…catching on to the innuendoes…and becoming more loquaciously obstinate with regards to their easy additions to my daily prescriptions….. ……here’s a good one…I was originally put on a prescriptive drug to regulate my heart’s beats per minute (BPM’s)….. It didn’t do its job…plus it started making my hair fall out along with my seeing lots…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** We had an incredible weather-line come through yesterday morning….. There were tornado warnings all along the west coast of Florida….. We knew it was coming…every radar showed it sweeping our way from left to right across the country….. There were some very dramatic weather changes that were forecasted…from what was in front of the “front”…compared to what came behind it….. Our biggest worry was that we had to leave the house in the…
